Hi, Ray here again.
Once again, it’s time to make a yummy curry from the great range of recipes on the Curry Focus website. My local supermarket was advertising a beef special so I chose the Beef and Potato curry to take advantage of the good price.
This is yet again another very easy curry to make and all that has to be remembered is that the curry simmers for around 2.5 hours – so if dinner is scheduled for 7pm then making the curry needs to start at about 4pm.
I cut up the beef and mixed it in with the salt and turmeric.
Then I peeled and prepared the onions, garlic and ginger. Now I was ready to start cooking.
I stir-fried the onion, garlic and ginger for around 10 minutes. Then I added the beef with the spices and stir-fried for 5 more minutes.
Then in went the water. I brought the curry to a simmer, covered it and left it for 2 hours, returning to stir the curry every 10 – 15 minutes.
I peeled and cubed the potatoes just before the 2 hours were nearly up and then added the potato cubes to the curry, stirring the curry well and covering the frying pan again.
I started to microwave rice after 5 minutes and the curry and rice were both ready just 20 minutes after the potato was added.
I served up the Beef and Potato curry to the lone other diner (there was only 2 of us for dinner tonight) and we tasted the results of the cooking.
And it was a good curry. Not a great curry, but a good one. The spice rating was mild to medium and the beef was really tender. There wasn’t much color on the plate so I maybe could have garnished the curry with some fresh cilantro to add a touch of color. The curry was given a good score of 7 out of 10.
There was way too much curry for just the two of us so we ate the same curry the following night and it tasted a little bit better than the previous night (it’s funny how curries do that). And we still couldn’t finish the curry so we put the remaining curry into a container and popped it into the freezer for another day.
I can definitely recommend this curry if you want to try an easy curry that is not too spicy.
